Lost art

"Lost art" refers to techniques, skills, or crafts that have fallen out of practice or been forgotten over time, often due to technological advances or cultural shifts. These methods may have been passed down through generations, but now are rarely used or known by the current population. Restoring or preserving these arts helps maintain cultural heritage, artisanship, and historical understanding. Examples include traditional craftsmanship, ancient culinary techniques, or artisanal trades. The term emphasizes the importance of rediscovering and valuing these forgotten practices before they disappear entirely.
